about
LINGUA IGNOTA is the solo project of interdisciplinary artist, composer, and performer Kristin Hayter. A classically-trained vocalist, she works with a variety of media and technology to create dense works harnessing the tech-mediated or acoustically extended voice, and is inspired by vernacular extreme forms such as black metal, power electronics, and harsh noise, as well as sacred and liturgical music. The -official- discography consist of three studio albums, two extended plays, and a big variety of singles. LINGUA IGNOTA explores violence and gender in extreme music through a morally ambiguous, emotionally/physically intense performance practice that has been described as “crushing”. In mid-2022, Hayter announced the retirement of the LINGUA IGNOTA project, scheduled for 2023. Along with a post on her Instagram account, she said: “I have so much gratitude for what has been afforded me, and the beauty of the community that has gathered around what I do. Committing myself to this project and all that has come with it has also been acutely painful. This time last year I was non-functional. Then, out of desperation, I gave myself permission to heal for the first time. There is still so much work for me to do, but these months of personal growth have allowed me to see myself clearly, my strengths and my shortcomings. Every day I do conscious, active work to stay present — where I am safe, rather than mired in my past — where I was not. I will not allow my wounds to destroy
